Fulfilling Our Commitment
In
the first issue of this year's Pathlight, I promised
that PHA would increase our communication with you, our members
and friends.
We have done what we promised.
Besides an expanded Pathlight, members
have received Persistent Voices, a new version of the
Understanding Pulmonary Hypertension CD-ROM, materials
for our new PH Aware media campaign and a PH Awareness
Month mailing offering posters and awareness kits for those ready
and willing to use them.
Tens of thousands of doctors and many nurses are
being educated through quarterly mailings of Advances in Pulmonary
Hypertension, PHA's medical journal. The amount of information
on our website, www.phassociation.org, is growing by leaps and
bounds.
By informing you, the people who care most about
the struggle against this illness, and by providing opportunities
for those who want and are able to participate, we are building
our community of hope into a movement that is making a true difference.
PH may be a rare illness but our voice has become
louder in 2003. With your continued help and support, our message
will be heard, and more people will join us in the fight against
PH.
Thank you for all that
you are doing and will do to help overcome this illness.
Sincerely,
Bruce Brundage, MD
President
